IBR and Sideroad 10 worst intersection

INNISFIL/BWG — Innisfil Beach Road and Sideroad 10 was the most dangerous intersection last year with 18 collisions, according to the South Simcoe Police.
The good news is the intersection is being reconstructed as part of the widening of IBR from Hwy. 400 to Yonge Street, a heavily used commuter route.
Other high-collision intersections in South Simcoe’s jurisdiction last year were:
• Holland Street West and Melbourne Drive in Bradford West Gwillmbury with 14;
• Yonge Street and Innisfil Beach Road with 13;
• Yonge Street and Conc. 7 in Innisfil with 13:
• Disette Street and Bridge Street in Bradford with 12.
Collisons in BWG and Innisfil dropped by about 6 per cent last year, a continuation of a downward trend since 2008.
"This is excellent news," Chief Rick Beazley said. “This is indicative that our road safety campaigns are working well".
In 2012, the South Simcoe Police participated in several road safety
initiatives designed to reduce collisions, injuries and deaths on local
roadways. They included a year round commitment to RIDE programs, with
an enhanced focus during the festive season. There was also a Distracted Driving campaign
in the spring of 2012, a Cottage Patrol initiative during the summer, a Back to School Campaign in September 2012 and a Seat Belt Campaign last October.
Motor vehicle collisions involving alcohol and drugs dropped from 44 in 2008 to 33 last year.
"One collision involving alcohol or drugs is one too many," says Beazley. "However, we are seeing a decrease."
